Reader Anonymous has left the following comment to my post The Big Sleep.

At about 11:00am CST on July 18, 2012 Texas District Judge Ruben Guerrero set a November 15, 2012 execution date for Preston Hughes, III.

I have not been able to confirm the report, but I have no reason to doubt it.

ADDENDUM (21 July 2012):Having followed the instructions of the wizened commentor, I offer the following screenshot.

I also can independently confirm that Preston Hughes III has indeed been scheduled for execution on July 18, 2012. As usual, the Hughes execution is scheduled for any time after 6 PM that day. Typically, Texas wastes little time. The prisoner is usually declared dead by 6:20 PM.
